Re: Obama taps Biden to craft new policies to curb gun violence in wake of shooting

I think a good number of people want to look at tighter gun control laws. So you are wrong here. Also he wants to look at other areas where we can improve. So our President is doing his job. I am sick to death of hearing about the 2nd amendment and how it give right to unlimited gun ownership. Plus ask any rational person why they need a 30 or 100 clip and the best they can come up with is maybe target practice. Bottom line the President is doing his job. I guess he had the pusle of right wing America more than most of us thought. Cling to guns and religion, and that scares the crap out of a majority of Americans

I expect that Biden will immediately begin a vigorous campaign to attack gangs and illegal guns on the streets. Im sure he will have full support of liberals everywhere. This is exciting and will be fun to watch!

That's the best part of the progressive argument - they attack legal gun owners and portray those committing 99% of the gun crimes in the United States as "victims" of course these are the same people who vote democrat of course, and who depend on the government to give them free "Obama Phones" foodstamps and other goodies that taxpaying law abiding (and legal gun owning) citizens provide...

These gangsters and criminals (who are all Obama lovers) are running around robbing taxpayers and overall good people (democrats and republicans alike) with stolen guns or smuggled guns and its those who obey the law, pay their taxes and respect the constitution who are continually attacked because they support, promote or legally indulge in the Second Amendment?

I am however in favor of having a proper, unpoliticized discussion about how people should use their gun rights. And this can only be done if politicians stay out and let technocrats handle the issue and bring a raport that answers the following question: How to keep maximum availability to americans to exercise their 2nd amendment right while at the same time keeping society safer. No politician, Obama, Biden, Boehner, Rahm Emanuel, etc can do that. Why? There are many reasons why but the chief reason is because they are a idiots. And I am not using a slang version of the word idiot, I am using idiot with its real true meaning of people with insufficient mental faculties despite being perfectly healthy.

Only intelligent, technocrat oriented people can come up with a solution to that question. And having politicians thrown into the mix to get political points won't do it. It is a right of americans and it cannot be politicized and have people take stands on the issue.

And just like you are not advocating unlimited ownership, nobody is advocating zero ownership. But somehow, the nutjob right-wing is simply incapable of having a discussion somewhere in the middle of those two things. To them, "maybe we should have better background checks" translates into "OBUMMER GONNA TAKE ALL MY GUNS." Idiots in Congress? Why should we expect them to have a rational discussion when we can't even do it ourselves?

Except, you know, the legally purchased firearms that committed the recent massacre.
